Problem

I just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Tablet (4294) and I'm trying to use the Factory Recovery Disks application within Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools to create "boot media" and "data media", but I don't have enough space on my 8 GB USB stick for the latter.

Fix for: How large of a USB stick do I need to create the "data media" using Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools?

Low Risk

did provide a good estimate of how much space I needed. In my case, the final amount of disk used by the "data media" was 9,593,602,048 bytes (8.9 GB) so a 16 GB USB stick was big enough.
